I didn't see Michael for two weeks since that night.

Every time I missed him, I'd walk downstairs and play on the piano.

I didn't know any song, but I just played random keys and my father would applaud.

I'd give him a fake smile and walked upstairs to my room again.

It was Saturday night.
I couldn't sleep and my mind was wandering off to other places.

My thoughts were interrupted by the phone ringing.

I rolled my eyes and reached the phone, "Hello?"

A drawl greeted me and I knew who it was.

"Sorry for not talkin' to you." Michael apologized, "Hey, I'm goin' to the studio right now. I want you to come with me."

"It's alright, Michael." I replied, finding it sweet that he was apologizing.

My heart fluttered at him proposal, "Of course, Mike! Wait...I can't. It's 10:23 and my father will kill me."

"I didn't ask you if you wanted to come." He said.

That was a turn on.

"Look, I'll drive by your house and you escape the house."

"Are you crazy?!" I asked quietly.

"Perhaps."

I thought about it for awhile.
This was so...rebellious.

"Alright," I said. "But if we get caught, you take the blame."

He chuckled at this, "Alright, I'll see you in a couple minutes."

"Alright." I said, not hanging up.

I could still hear him.

"Hang up."

"What if I don't want to?" He replied.

I chuckled softly and hung up before things got out of hand.

I stood up and looked for my clothes quietly, not wanting to make a lot of noise to wake up my father.

I found yellow pencil skirt and a groovy looking green shirt.

I also brought a coat and my black flats.

I sat on my chair and looked at myself on the mirror before taking out my favorite red lipstick and my cherry-flavored lip balm.

I let my loose, blonde curls down and waited for him.

Minutes passed and I began to think that perhaps he wouldn't show up. My thoughts disappeared when I heard someone throw something at my window. I opened the curtains and Michael was waving at me.

I laughed quietly before opening the window and giving him a smile.

"You're gonna have to jump." Michael said quietly.

If he got caught, God help him.

I widened my eyes, "Are you crazy? I'm not jumping!"

It was almost suicidal.

"I'll catch Ya'."

"I don't know if I can trust you."

"C'mon, I will."

I let out a soft sigh before sitting on the ends of the window, "Alright, but If I die, I will haunt you for eternity." I said, giving him a sarcastic smile.

"Alright, alright." He said, walking closer.

I closed my eyes and counted to three, but I'd regret it and I wouldn't jump.
